THREE RIVERS, MI -- Three Rivers' HarmonyFest may be smaller, but it's still got harmony.

There won't be any national acts, so area acts will keep Main Street full of music Aug. 31.

"This is a down-home event with local bands, due to a lack of funding," organizer Karen Hay said.

This is the 21st year of the festival, and the 14th for Hay. They've always tried to get a national act, usually from the world of the blues. Past acts include Carl Weathersby, Larry Gardner, CJ Chenier and Magic Slim.

This year's headliner is Kalamazoo soul/blues vets the Marci Lynn Band, followed by Rusty's Big Band, with party tunes lead by Monaco Bay pianist Rusty Northrop.

Other acts include Sammi Melchi and the Generations, lead by a prize-winning guitarist who can also play keyboards and drums, and is 12-years-old. Gospel, rock, Americana and soul bands are also on the lineup.
